wow i can remember actually driving across this bridge with my dad in the 1970's before it finally collapsed. i also remember hearing that there were actually some that drove across it the very same day it fell into the saline river,,seems like one of the piers were leaning somewhat and finally the mighty saline river pushed it over,i hear it made a loud crash that was heard from miles away.good to see the pics of it.
